The ˂TWS_user> - special security file considerations
The ˂TWS_user> is
a special user, and requires special consideration for the security
file.
- Required access for the ˂TWS_user> for workload service assurance
- For any user to perform Workload service Assurance activities, the ˂TWS_user> must have display, modify and list access keywords assigned for all job, schedule and cpu objects.
- New ˂TWS_user> in migrated Security file
- If you change the ˂TWS_user> of your environment, for example, as you might do when performing a parallel upgrade, and then you migrate the Security file (to preserve your settings) you must set up the new ˂TWS_user> in the Security file in advance, with all its required access rights, before attempting to start IBM Workload Scheduler.
- Update definitions for Windows domain ˂TWS_user> in the Security file after upgrade to version 10.2.4
Due to new support of the UPN Windows user, if you have Windows domain users that are defined in the logon fields as
domain\username, after performing an upgrade to version 10.2.4, update the Security file before starting the IBM Workload Scheduler instance. Insert the escape character '\' before the '\' character in the domain\username value.For example, if you use the MYDOMAIN\user1 value in the logon field, after the upgrade, in the Security file you must update the line in following way:.............. logon=MYDOMAIN\\user1 ...............
